It covered everything, you didn't finish watching with questions unanswered...it's rare to say that about a biographic documentary. Really well done.

Excellent documentary. Watching this only made me more upset with the current artists we have representing our culture. With the current events going on in the states, very few are speaking on it and we know why.

It also gives a major side-eye to that joke of a Nina Simone biopic....

Nah...You're being way too simplistic with the whole colorstruck thing. I won't pretend to know whether or not u know the story of Nina Simone. But if you do, you would understand why Zoe getting that role was a smack in the fact to Simone's overall legacy....

This is no silly paper bag test shit...lol....It about how Simone viewed her OWN blackness as it relates to white supremacy.....

I can only imagine the contrast in how the stories were reported

I doubt anybody suggested audience etiquette training in the latter example

it's equally just as good. I think it's from like 2012 but if you enjoyed the Nina doc, this will captivate you just the same.

Mississippi COTDAYUM

and I Ain't Got No

moved me

and I'd love to see her catalogue resurface in the mainstream

I love Lauryn, but her songs sound very karaoke to me. Jazmine's cover of Batimore is dope, though. Despite that, Meshell's album is vastly superior.
